    Re: Landscape hikers – “10 essentials” or not?

    Sheesh …so, so needy. I wouldn't dare call such a walk "soloing". Many travel by themselves these days. Better company perhaps.

    I have nighted a few times in the High Sierra with nothing but a...

    Re: Landscape hikers – “10 essentials” or not?
